Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Arborfield Cross
Condensate has to drain away from every indoor unit. Sludge and debris can block the tray, the pipe or the pump and the result is drips from the indoor unit.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Condensate leaking into the room
- No service record for the last year or more
- A unit showing a fault code
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

Air conditioning servicing in Arborfield Cross, done properly
A service is not the same as a regas. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak somewhere. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about warning lights on the indoor unit and a service that’s overdue.
We plan the trip to Arborfield Cross and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Common questions in Arborfield Cross
Does my air con in Arborfield Cross need a yearly service?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Is Arborfield Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
As a guide, it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time and we will let you know before the visit.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
